Kat- Fabric on the walls for real? That is so neat, how about the ceilings? I have been interested in seeing ceilings done in fabric like Lizzie had. Could not find but a couple of examples of linen ceilings on the internet. I think it would be cool to do a room with linen ceilings.

Oh do keep us updated!!!!

I haven't quite figured it out yet. I thought I could tack the fabric to a thin frame the shape of the wall-a corner of the fireplace and mantle jut out- and hang that.

Ray you are easily distracted I see.

This one makes me sick! I want to close my eyes and ears.
Tonight on the Memorials for the slain students they sang "Amazing Grace" on all the coverage.
During the coverage I was making cookies and had to stop and shudder!
Because I remembered I had downloaded the music and searched out the original words to "Amazing Grace" on Easter Sunday and memorized the song.
I had sat outside on my back porch singing that song over and over and over for the whole day. Even as I was going to bed.

I can barely write about it.
The whole thing is so incredibly sad.

I have had 4 dreams in the last 2 weeks or so, featuring the number 11.
I don't know what this means.

My first was of a signpost and there was a 9 at the top of the sign, and an 11 at the bottom, with a slash in between.
Like this:

9 / 11
(The 9 was much higher up tho, almost not included.)
I even drew a picture of it and put the date on it when I woke up.
Now I realize that equals 9/11, the infamous date.
That's what is confusing.

Later I dreamed of a dime on the ground. As I looked closer I saw a penny next to it. It was slightly removed because it was higher up- closer to my sight than the dime. When I woke up I at first only saw the dime in my mind but then remembered the penny. That equals 11 again.

Then 2 nights ago I dreamed that I dreamed about the dime and the penny. Then last night I dreamed that again- that I was telling of dreaming of the 11.
Then I realized, as I was drifting back to sleep that this year 9-11-2007 in numerology added up to 11.

9+11- 20
2+7 (in 2007) = 9
20 +9 = 29.
2 + 9 = 11.

As I say, I don't know what this means- could be nothing- it's not the *right time* for dreams like this- just wanted to put it out there. Maybe the dreams will stop now.

I just realized I posted the above on the 11th.
I was going to post it on the 10th at 2 am but my computer did not want to and then I forgot until 11:07 on the 11th!

I've been so busy lately and have missed you all. I will catch up tho- I promise to read everyone.

But just to take a break, I'd like to tell what happened today.

I went swimming and then I went to Publix- my supermarket.
I used the ladies room first. I met in there one of the ladies who works at Publix who I always stop and talk to. She was on restroom duty. I didn't know they had to rotate the cleaning of the bathroom. So I was chatting about that and then I had a picture in my head of the restroom at Orlando International Airport. I had been there in May and so I just asked her "When was the last time you were at the airport?" She stopped and looked at me and repeated my question back. (English is her second language.) I repeated it back again to her and she asked me why I asked. Well, I didn't know why I asked so I came up with some kind of lame answer about the bathroom there- and I knew it was lame but I didn't know what else to say.
She returned with the fact that she never goes to the airport- had not been there in any time she could recall- but that she had just been there on Sunday! Dropping her daughter off for a flight. Then I knew why I had asked. She was amazed. I was amazed. She joked that I might have seen her there- because she couldn't figure out why I asked her that question.

Well, we left the rest room amazed.

Then just after I went to the deli to order a sub. After the lady in line in front of me got hers, I got mine soon after and we met again at the sweet cole slaw section- both wanting sweet coleslaw. I got to talking to her and I directed the conversation toward asking her questions about her husband, and I asked her how long she had been married. She said sixty years. On the 16th of July it was 60 years! Wow! We were both amazed that I had asked her that question just 3 days after her 60th anniversary. (The 16th was this past Monday, BTW.)

Anyway, I was on a roll! And the sub was delicious, too!
